With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

I try not to be mean to DnD fans, because I genuinely believe a riding tide lifts all boats here, but the replies arguing that dogshit rules that every table rebuilds from scratch are good actually because *checks notes* DnD has been consitently dogshit since it's inception are making it real hard.

Someone is always listening.

Great 🧵 and it’s not easy to “sit this one out” when you suddenly find yourself cast as villain of the week. It can, reasonably, be terrifying but there’s a bit of advice that goes around in certain support group circles, “Don’t answer back to bullshit.” See also “Truth is the daughter of time.”

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

And entirely empty airport terminal with a big white picture of a lobster on one wall.

Three hours early for my one hour flight — basically the only flight out today. The security staff scrambled to their places when I arrived and now I sit alone in an empty terminal, the King of Dads. A whole row of window seats as my throne.

It would be great if the Canadian media would point out in its articles on puberty blockers that they've been used for decades for children who are going through early puberty, rather than simply parroting conservative culture war framing.

Attacking the RNLI has to be one of the craziest moves yet. I guess we have to add "not drowning" to the list of things that are too woke.
